South Dakota Laws Allow People To Kill Their Pets Like Cricket the Dog

By now, many people have heard about South Dakota's Governor Kristi Noem bragging about killing her 14-month-old dog, Cricket. This story not only sparked understandable outrage, but highlighted a serious problem with animal rights in South Dakota. Under current state law, it is legal for owners to kill animals considered "dangerous." Something needs to change – animals act out for all sorts of reasons, and there should be other steps required to take to protect both people and animals that don't allow an owner to easily kill their pet.

Sign the petition to urge the South Dakota State Legislature to change these outdated laws and ensure comprehensive protections for animals!

The incident with Governor Noem's dog is not an isolated case but a symptom of broader legal failure to protect animal welfare. Cricket the dog was described as "untrainable" after disrupting a hunt and entering a neighbor's property, which led to her untimely and tragic death. This law reflects a severe lack of ethical consideration and accountability, allowing for extreme measures to be taken based on subjective judgments of animal behavior.

It is imperative that South Dakota revisits and reforms its animal welfare statutes to close loopholes that allow for such cruelty. Animals deserve protection and compassion, not death sentences for behavior that could be managed with proper training and care.

Sign the petition to demand that the South Dakota State Legislature act immediately to protect animals from unnecessary harm and ensure that animal welfare laws reflect modern understanding and humane treatment!
